In this yarn, Robbie Copeland strips back the glitz of AFL glory and shares the brutal reality of footy finances in the early 2000s. From earning just $150 a week while juggling footy and furniture removal, to being offered a big-money move to Richmond and turning it down for loyalty—this episode dives into the less glamorous side of professional sport. Robbie also chats about playing on legends like Judd and Cousins, the physical toll of tagging elite midfielders, and how he ended up toothless and unpaid while lifting premiership cups. A brutally honest, hilarious look behind the curtain of footy fame.
